Guess what?

We live in a little English
village, in the back-of-beyond in Lincolnshire. Yet we ship our New English
Quilter frames all over the world.

Over the years we've created lots of
material to help people using machine quilting frames to become more fluent at
free motion quilting. We offer local demonstrations, workshops and retreats. We've also created dvd’s that teach a no mark method for learning line designs,
a technique based on ball room dancing. It’s aimed to give machine quilters the
necessary confidence to create bold and flowing lines of stitching. It also teaches the trouble shooting
techniques needed to get quilters, frames and sewing machines all working
together smoothly. Despite their
popularity here in England, and America, Australia and beyond, we think it
isn’t enough.

We need a place where everyone
can come together for support and inspiration, where machine quilters can
interact with each other, share knowledge and ask questions. We've discovered from our retreats that
learning together is so much more fun than learning alone. So we decided to
create an on line community site. A place where classes, workshops and bite
sized chunks of our video material can be instantly available to people
everywhere. It offers the big added benefit of getting to ask questions and get
answers directly from our instructors as well as tips and suggestions from
other members.

Someone once said that quilting
is like taking a line for a walk. Put your sewing machine on the carriage of a
machine quilting frame and suddenly your line starts dancing. Our goal is to create
an on line community, a Line Dancing Machine
Quilter Membership Site where people who use machine quilting frames can
get on-going inspiration and support, from us and each other.

We’re launching our Line Dancing Membership Site this December. Our introductory Christmas episodes will feature 5 festive Christmas line designs and a few quick and simple
last minute projects. We’re offering the Introductory mini-series at a big
discount to customers who have already purchased our DVD or attended our
retreats. We hope you’ll enjoy the mini sessions and that you’ll give us
suggestions and feedback to help us iron out the wrinkles as we learn how to
manage the new site. We look forward to starting our new adventure with your
help. More details to follow. Meanwhile, please let us know what you think.

About Me

Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, married an English man and raised 6 children in Lincolnshire,UK. I'm keen to make American innovations in machine quilting more readily accessible to the English quilter. I take a folk art approach, helping ordinary people achieve extraordinary results. I've been developing, demonstrating and teaching hand-guided free-motion machine quilting techniques since 2003.
